Chicken And Vegetable Noodle Soup
Lindsay says: Everybody knows that chicken noodle soup
is good for the soul - and for growing children! This version sneaks in some
healthy vegetables too. You can use any pasta that you have on hand, and in fact
younger children find the soup easier to eat with something like farfalle or
pasta bows than the traditional egg "noodle".
Ingredients:
1 3-4 pound chicken, skinned and cut into chunks, or 4 skinless, boneless
chicken breasts, chopped.
2 1/12 cups sliced carrots
2 cups sliced celery
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 can sweet corn kernels, drained or 1 cup frozen sweet corn kernels, defrosted
3/4 cup uncooked pasta or thin egg noodles
Salt and black pepper to taste
Either:
Approximately 4 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules (more or less to suit
taste)
Water to cover ingredients
Or:
1 quart home-made chicken stock (topped up with more water if necessary)
Instructions:
Place the chicken, onion, celery and stock into a large saucepan and bring to
the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is done (the length of
time this takes will depend on what kind of chicken you are using and the size
of the pieces).
Remove the chicken and set aside to cool, then remove the bones (if
necessary) and cut into small pieces or shred. Bring the stock back up to the
boil and add the pasta (check the recommended cooking time), carrots and sweet
corn. Add the chicken pieces back to the pot just before the pasta is done.
